Abstract

The authors present a theory that predicts the performance of a water-air jet pump having a high air to water volume flow ratio and describe an experiment using such a system. They also discuss the application of such a system to the removal of smoke and gases from buildings. The water-air jet pump can be an effective method for extracting smoke and hot gases from fire situations, especially where the gas temperature prevents a fan from being used without special protection. The performance of such an extraction system can be predicted reasonably well by the theory presented.
